Confident India face Bangladesh test

March 23, 2016 19:13

Welcome to the coverage of the ICC World T20 between India and Bangladesh in Bangalore, on Wednesday.

Galvanised by the victory over arch-rivals Pakistan, a confident India will look for another colossal one when they square off against an embattled Bangladesh to inch closer to the semi-finals.

Under tremendous pressure after the opening loss to New Zealand, the champions of the inaugural edition of the tournament, in 2007, roared back by beating Pakistan in a high-voltage clash at the Eden Gardens to put their campaign back on track.

Victory in Wednesday's Super 10 Group 2 match can take the hosts a step closer to a berth in the semi-finals. They must ensure that they win big to improve their Net Run Rate, which took a hit following the loss to New Zealand.

Bangladesh are on the verge of being knocked out of the tournament and a win on Wednesday will go a long way in giving them a mathematical chance of making the last-four stage.
